Bring authentic Santa Maria–style grilling to your backyard or professional kitchen with the Sunterra Santa Maria 48″ No Cart Charcoal Grill (3601-48DSI). Built from heavy-gauge 3/16″ steel and lined with firebrick for superior heat retention, this grill is designed for chefs, pitmasters, and serious outdoor cooking enthusiasts.

The signature flywheel system lets you raise and lower the V-channel cooking grates with precision, giving you complete control over heat intensity and cooking style. Juices and fats are captured by the sloped grates, reducing flare-ups while enhancing flavor. A sliding damper system with cool-touch handles ensures easy airflow control, while the removable drip tray makes cleanup simple.

Perfect for wood or lump charcoal grilling, this 48″ Santa Maria grill delivers durability, performance, and true California-style barbecue.

Note: All grills now feature a downward-swinging door and chain drive system (replacing cables). Images shown are general—please confirm specifications for this model. An NSF package upgrade is required for NSF Certification.
